I Am Who I Am

By ShyForgottenSoul

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I look in the mirror and what do I seeA reflection so different, is that even me?Do you recognize me?Can you see who I am?Or do you only see the physical at hand?Do you know me? Do you care?I am who I am, and nothing can compareYou pass right by me without as much as a glanceDon’t you think that hurts me?Or are you in some state of trance?You call yourself humanBut how can that beWhen all you do is criticizeAnd judge people constantlyIt sickens me more than you’ll ever possibly knowFor you to exclude someone, and put on a showI am who I am, and that’s more than you’re worthYou disgust me and I hate youYou the lowest thing on this earthI may not be beautiful on the outer layerBut what I am on the in, I’m bursting with flair Passion and intensity are gifts that I holdBut you don’t give a damn, what only matters to you is your ownHow can you live like that from day to day?Totally conceited, and rude in every wayTurn and look at yourself in the mirrorDoes the glass reflect something to fear?Look through my eyes at the way I see youIt’s far more worse that what you’ve ever viewedWake up and take this time to improveYour turn now, it’s now your moveSo until you know just where I standRemember thisI am who I am.
